Why it's worth your time

A vast, dune-backed beach near Wilderness that remains largely empty even in peak season. It is famous for its long, uninterrupted stretches of sand and the occasional shipwreck remnant.

What we love

The sheer scale of the empty, dune-backed landscape.

What to know

There is no shade and no facilities; bring everything you need.
